When choosing a stroller, parents must consider a variety of aspects like price, family size and life style. There are many different types of strollers to fit any situation.
These strollers have larger wheels, stronger suspension and a more robust frame to handle uneven terrain and bumps. They are perfect for families with active children.
Compact Strollers
Sometimes, leaving the house with your baby is difficult. You require a lightweight stroller that can be folded and easy to maneuver.
Also called travel strollers, these strollers strike a middle ground between traditional strollers and umbrella strollers. They offer the full size amenities such as large sun canopies as well as multi-position recline and undercarriage storage baskets. They also have an easier to close fold that is smaller (or even collapses into a bag that folds flat). A lot of travel strollers can be used with car seats for infants, too.
The GB Qbit+ All City stroller offers a fold with one hand that is about the size of a carry-on size and can be carried in overhead bins on planes. There is no gate-checking requirement! It is also able to be connected to the UPPAbaby Mini V2 and Nuna Pipa Infant Car Seat by adapters. A bassinet with a built-in bassinet is available. Another option that is a good one is the Cybex Eezy Twist 2, which allows you to attach to a car seat and then change from forward-facing to a parent-facing position based on the development of your baby.
Strollers that are Full Size
Full-size strollers come with big wheels, excellent suspension, and simple-to-use brakes to ensure your child’s safety. They also come with plenty of storage space, cup holders, and other features that ensure that your child’s transportation is a easy task.
Many full-size strollers come with an infant or toddler seat that clicks into the frame to make an entire travel system. This is great for families with newborns or multiple children in day care. Certain frames are made to fit the use of two toddler car seats or infant car seats. Others allow you mix and match different seating options, such as a second or third seat.
These strollers are often expensive and require a significant upfront investment. Certain retailers offer huge reductions on these strollers in the season of shopping for Christmas and make these strollers more affordable. A quality stroller, which can grow with your baby, is worth the initial cost. Strollers with adjustable handlebars can be a bonus for parents of different heights. They can comfortably move the stroller using just only one hand.
Travel Systems
Travel systems (also known as prams or combination strollers) are basically car seat carriers which attach to the frame of a stroller. It can be used to carry your child in the car and then transfer them to the stroller for a stroll. Some models even permit you to attach a bassinet attachment that lets your infant lie flat on the floor and look at you or a seat attachment that can be positioned to face forward or back.
They are a great option for families who plan to use a baby car seat for a longer duration of time, as you are able to continue using the stroller even after your child is no longer in the car seat. It is easy to use and connect requires minimal steps and complicated fasteners. The models with big undercarriages which can hold gear and other supplies are perfect. Also, look for fabrics that can be cleaned easily and can take care of crumbs and snot. They’re typically lighter and smaller in size and therefore easier to maneuver on public transit and in airports.
Double Strollers
Double strollers are an absolute necessity for families that have more than one child. Choose a stroller with plenty of storage for snacks and sippy cups, diapers and toys, etc. You should also take into consideration how easy it is to push the stroller with two kids.
A smooth ride as well as a sturdy construction are also key features. Strollers equipped with locking swivel-wheels ensure you a steady and stable ride. It is important to choose one that is light and durable.
There are numerous types of double strollers to choose from. Tandem strollers have a seat at the front, and a seat in the back, while side by potent side by side stroller strollers have seats placed close to one another. Based on the stroller’s compatibility and weight limit, certain children may not be able to use it in tandem or side-by-side layouts. To make sure that the stroller you choose is suitable for your child with your child’s needs, review the recommended age range of the manufacturer and the specifications for each model.
